A very impressive mileage total indeed, 2k more than I've managed.Done both
To have covered almost 15k is truly mind boggling (@HLaB).

I just looked back on Cyclechat because I couldn't remember when I started this ridiculous challenge! I did 6 months of this in 2010, so now I have done 42 consecutive months. Thanks also to @rb58 and @ianrauk who have accompanied me on so many of them. Although I am officially not doing so much cycling in 2014, I'm definitely continuing with this.

For my 2014 challenge, I'm thinking of doing at least one century a month on Fixed.

Tuesday saw my final century of the year 
I headed east to South Manchester, then on a little further. I chose a route with streetlights rather than risking pitch black country roads with gravel and gullies....again
However I still managed to hit a pothole (not very impressive as potholes go) which was enough to result in a pinch-flat - inflated to 115psi pre-ride. One tube and one CO2 cartridge later I was back on the road.
Mission accomplished

Funny you should mention that.......but so am I...
Yaay - it is done.
I'd booked yesterday off to get my century in. Unfortunately the weather forecast changed to heavy rain all day.
I got up in two minds whether to put it off. It was wet out but not raining so I decided to crack on with it. I set my direction as North West and followed my nose. It is often surprising what roads you find that way.
I was lucky, the rain held off until I'd done 55 miles. It drizzled for a bit and then lashed down. I took my cycling glasses off as I couldn't see through them. This lasted an hour or so and then faded away.
It was dark for the last 90 minutes and my lights were pretty naff, which made for some entertainment.
So, job done 12/12
